NHS alternative private GP care in Kilburn — faster, named doctors

Private GP

30/01/2026 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Fast access to a private GP alternative for Kilburn residents

Waiting weeks for a routine appointment is common; 1 in 4 patients report delays that affect their daily life. If you're in Kilburn and need prompt, personalised care, Mayfield Clinic offers a clear alternative to the NHS GP pathway.

We provide private GP appointments with immediate availability, longer consultation times and continuity of care from a named doctor. You keep your NHS registration — we simply act as an accessible, high-quality alternative when the NHS waiting times are too long or when you need more time to discuss complex issues.

How our private GP service works for Kilburn patients

Book online via the Book now button for same-day or next-day private GP appointments. Members can also book by phone or WhatsApp. Although we serve Kilburn, clinical consultations take place at our St John's Wood practice — you can find details here: St John's Wood practice.

Immediate availability when the NHS can't meet demand

When NHS waiting times for routine or urgent GP appointments stretch beyond what you can manage, a private GP is a practical option. We offer same-day telephone triage, in-person appointments at St John's Wood and video consultations. That means Kilburn patients can get clinical advice, prescriptions or urgent referrals quickly without switching off NHS care.

Longer appointments and continuity of care

Typical NHS GP slots are brief. At Mayfield Clinic our standard consultations are longer, allowing a thorough assessment, time for preventive advice and a shared plan. Many Kilburn patients value seeing the same named doctor each visit — it builds trust, reduces repeat explanations and improves outcomes for chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension.

What we can help with

Our private GP service covers the full range of general practice care: acute illness, chronic disease reviews, mental health assessments, sexual health, vaccinations and fit notes. We can provide private sick notes and fast onward referrals to specialists if specialist tests are needed. For Kilburn residents facing NHS delays, this offers a practical pathway to faster diagnosis and treatment.

Working alongside your NHS GP

You do not need to leave your NHS GP to use Mayfield Clinic. We’ll coordinate with your existing NHS team where appropriate and provide written summaries after each consultation. That continuity reduces duplicated tests and ensures your care remains joined-up.

Pricing and membership options

We offer pay-as-you-go private appointments and membership plans for frequent users. Membership provides priority booking, telephone access to your named doctor and discounted follow-ups. Kilburn patients who travel to St John's Wood often find membership cost-effective when they need regular review or quick access.

Travel and convenience for Kilburn patients

St John's Wood is a short journey from Kilburn by Tube or bus. Many patients combine a visit with nearby errands — Kilburn High Road's shops or a walk along Queen's Park. If mobility is a concern, ask about video consultations; we can often resolve issues remotely without a trip to the clinic.

Real-case example

A Kilburn teacher with escalating migraine symptoms obtained a rapid private review, an expedited MRI referral and a tailored management plan within a week — well before the local NHS waiting list could offer imaging.

How to book
